Inheritance and Estate Planning

Where heirs live outside Greece, the process may involve title documentation, inheritance formalities, tax filings, notarial acts, registration procedures and coordination with the Greek Cadastre or Land Registry.

We assist international beneficiaries and families in understanding and managing the Greek legal aspects of the inheritance.

Where appropriate, we also coordinate with advisers in other jurisdictions so that the Greek steps are considered within the wider administration of the estate.

These may involve identifying assets, reviewing testamentary documents, determining the applicable succession framework, preparing documentation, coordinating with notaries and tax advisers, and completing formalities in Greece.

Our objective is to provide continuity and careful legal oversight throughout the process.

For beneficiaries living abroad, we can also advise on representation in Greece where personal attendance may not be possible or necessary.

Questions may arise regarding the interaction between different legal systems, the location of assets, habitual residence, nationality, testamentary arrangements and the administration of property in more than one country.

We focus on the Greek legal aspects while keeping the wider international context in view.

Where the client already has lawyers, accountants, trustees or tax advisers in another country, we are accustomed to working alongside them.

It is about understanding what matters to the individual or family and translating those intentions into a legally sound and workable plan.

A good plan should consider not only who should receive assets, but how ownership is structured, where assets are located, what practical formalities may arise and whether the intended arrangements can be implemented effectively.
